Someone told me it wasn't, which is why I just got it on ps3. Still might double dip for wiiU version.
It should look pretty good on the Gamepad. Assuming Gamepad support!
I don't even have my Wii U hooked up to the TV. Just been using the Gamepad for the last six months.

Off-TV was already confirmed. As it should be in every applicable U-port.

Is it just me or does the Cleric whenever he heals someone yell "C'mon Seriously!"?

Thanks to the bunch who added me/accepted my invite. Absolutely love playing this again. I'll be double dipping on wii-u whenever that ends up coming out.

This game is fairly excellent, but I do kind of grow tired by Iron Galaxy's handling. Their visual options flat out suck, and they cut out stuff too. I wished Proper games did this, Final Fight Double Impact is one of the best arcade games I played on PSN (its only downside is the lack of a button config). Love its front end as well.
If the retail version of DD is indeed superior, I might cave.

I often won't turn the TV on when I play the Wii U.Or I'll let someone continue watching TV, etc. It's just a great option to have.
The Gamepad is awesome. Awesome is the Gamepad. I wish more people would start to realize this.

Huh? What did they cut?

Typical Iron Galaxy; they cut intros, attract, score screens etc..Always makes the package somewhat lifeless. Arcade ver is pretty decent, introducing chars:

My biggest complaints are the video options though, can never get their games to look good. Especially seeing what M2 and the likes can do.

This plays so good with a USB Sega Saturn controller!

Yeah the cutting out the intros is lame, heck M2 SEGA game ports keep the intro once you start the main game, why such a thing can't be done by IG is strange and unfortunate.

I didn't realize until now they cut the intro. I even made several animated gifs from it like twelve years back!Augemitbutter

If I were to guess, he is trying to say the name of the spell which is Cure Serious Wounds except in Engrish. But C'mon seriously is more apt because that's probably what you would say to the guy next to you every time you have to save his ass.
Funny thing also is that the Thief is voiced by the same actress as Capcom's favorite soul-fisting succubus.

It shouln't be that, since the speech bit is the same no matter what spell the cleric uses on the other player (i.e. it's the same as well with Striking, etc.), and not, for some reason, the actual, spell-specific speech used when he casts it on himself (which is quite identifiable as, say, Cure Serious Wounds).
It's entirely unintelligible, for me at least as a non-english speaker. If anyone can make any sense of it, it would solve a decade+ long riddle for me.

I believe he's saying "Behold this faith!" which kinda makes sense since he's supposed to be calling on his god for the healing.

Seems to have at least an additional syllabe to it. I could see "Behold this" but "faith" is definitely not it.
Unless it's "Behold this faith-uh".

So after playing Tower of Doom last week I'm finally working on Shadow Over Mystara, using the Thief. I'm enjoying this one more than the first game. I felt Tower was pretty good, but Shadow is great so far.
I'm excited for the Wii U version but it better be out this week. I recently picked up this nifty PS2 to Wii adapter:
http://dx.com/p/playstation-2-ps2-to-wii-controller-adapter-13-5cm-cable-23206
It's great because it supports arcade sticks and I own a Darkstalkers PS2 Sega Saturn pad so it works awesome with the converter. The mapping is a little weird at first and I had to make an evernote to jot down the config, but it works with no input lag. The Mayflash PS2 to Wii doesn't work with arcade sticks, and this is cheaper. Totally recommended for Wii/Wii U owners.
I've been playing Mega Man X with the Saturn pad, now I want D&D!

Can I just say that I am very jelly right now? Because I am. It's like the one remote I really want but I just can't find any at a good price. Triple digits for a non fightstick is too steep and that's all I can find it.
Preach.

How is the PS3 version's online multiplayer?

very good. you can set a delay filter in the options. game only dopped me 3x since i bought it.
Yeah they are pricey. I got mine for $80 but I can truly say it was worth every penny. I get so worried about breaking it or losing it because it really is the best classic controller. Keep searching, I'd say $100 while truly pricey is still worth it.
Here's a link to the converter if you are interested:

At the prices I've seen, even $100 isn't so bad, the cheapest I saw it for was a little short of $200. No way will I ever get one at prices like those

Whoa, that's awesome, didn't have a clue such a thing existed! Am I right in assuming it emulates a Classic Controller on the Wii and Pro Controller on the Wii U? I don't actually have a Wii U and am not sure if they're actually the same as far as the Wii U is concerned. I also assume the "weird mappings" you mention are only for your Saturn controller and not for the standard PS2 controller?
LOL! Personally, when I use Turn Undead I am hearing "Power of the Mouth!"
Yeah it emulates the classic controller for the Wii so any Wii U game that supports it like virtual console games and some newer Wii U games it will support.
I haven't tried it with a normal Dualshock2 because I don't really care too much for that controller, but it's strange concerning the button config. I was able to figure out what mapped to what using "Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Wii U Edition" because the virtual console mapping is kinda weird, whereas the TTT2 menu just lets you press the button to config. But going back in menus is L2 which is strange. It may just be how it reads the Sega Saturn PS2 pad, hard to say. Once I got used to it and figured out the config it was fine and a joy to play with, mainly for the great D-Pad it has. Here's the config for it:
PS2 Saturn = Wii
A = A
L2 = B
X = X
B = Right Bumper
Y = Left Bumper
C = L Trigger
Z = Y
L2 = B
R2 = Right Trigger
Extra notes:
L Bumper (L2) always B in menus
R Bumper (R2) always virtual console menu

I see. I thought there would be no significant difference from the Wii's Classic to the WiiU's Pro controller so that support for one would mean support for the other, but I guess not. Ah well. Thanks for the info anyway!

Is the Japanese version going to be region free?

I am assuming you mean the PS3 disc version. if so, yes, all PS3 JP discs are region free.
CrazyTank940

Well all except Persona 4 Arena, but yeah this one should be region free. Capcom hasn't region locked PS3 games before, not sure why they'd bother starting now.

damn! i didn't realize that. what a strange game to region lock. but then I have the USA one...

vampirism isn't so bad in online multiplayer. people die less which results in less spell spamming. less spell recharging if they keep on living
CrazyTank940

Yeah they announced the region lock before it released the first time, Atlus mainly announced it to say the lock is a one time thing. The region lock wasn't so bad at first because Japan and US got the game weeks apart but it became a problem when the EU release got pushed back and eventually released over there a month or two ago.

Checked the eshop today, its been updated here in the UK but still no D+D: Chronicles of Mystara
why why why?!?!?
= My exact sentiment as well. Why take the time to re-release a game that only diehard fans will care about for the most part, but then (A) take out things that people associate with the game (even if intros etc. are superfical, they still add to the experience of the total package!) and (B) include only visual options that (in my opinion; see earlier post) all pretty much make the game look terrible. I simply couldn't finish watching the Let's play from the Two Best Friends (+ Woolie & Liam) because even that looked like a blurry mess of scanlines!
A real shame because a treatment such as this pretty much destroys the once in a lifetime possibility that these more obscure games have of getting a good (legal) museum treatment in which they are preserved correctly.
